The Major League Lacrosse expansion draft for the Ohio Machine
and Charlotte Hounds went off Wednesday afternoon, but it wasn't a
draft pick that highlighted the day's events.

MLL All-Stars Matt Danowski and Stephen Berger were sent from
the Long Island Lizards to the Charlotte as part of a blockbuster
trade that gave Long Island attackman Max Quinzani and the No. 1
overall pick in January's collegiate draft. Charlotte drafted
Quinzani, left unprotected by Boston, with the fourth overall pick
in the expansion draft, and then the trade became official.

The Lizards will now presumably select Long Island native Rob
Pannell with the first pick in the collegiate draft, held Jan. 13
at the US Lacrosse National Convention in Philadelphia, Pa.

Berger, in comments to Lacrosse Magazine after the trade,
thanked the Lizards organization and coach Jim Mule "for all that
they did for me in the league." The team drafted him with the final
pick in the 2004 collegiate draft, and he's become a four-time MLL
All-Star.

Berger also said, "I am so excited to be joining a new franchise
and help the game of lacrosse in Charlotte continue to grow and
have the fans see the best players in the world play in their
backyard."

"I am also extremely happy to continue to play with Matt
Danowski and my cousin Justin Smith as well as Jeremy Boltus and
Billy Bitter, both unreal threats on attack. Thank you to the
Charlotte Hounds coaches and management and I cannot wait for the
2012 MLL season and to be rocking a Hounds jersey."

*Rochester traded Burns, a second-round supplemental pick and a
third-round supplemental pick to the Hamilton Nationals for Kevin
Leveille and a second-round supplemental pick. The supplemental
draft is Dec. 14.

**Charlotte traded Quinzani, the No. 1 overall pick in January's
collegiate draft to the Long Island Lizards for Matt Danowski and
Stephen Berger, a third-round collegiate draft pick this year and a
third-round collegiate pick next year.

***Ohio traded Spallina and a fourth-round collegiate draft pick
to the Chesapeake Bayhawks for a third-round collegiate draft
pick.

Players Pulled Back

These are players who were not selected in the expansion draft
and were pulled back either during the draft or right after. Teams
had the option of bringing players back onto their rosters, or
sending them to the player pool.
